I move:

That Dáil Éireann:1) notes the agreed Report of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine under Standing Order 105 on the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal management (COM (2013) 133) which was laid before Dáil Éireann on 7th May, 2013 in accordance with Standing Order 105(3)(b);

2) having regard to the aforementioned Report, and in exercise of its functions under section 7(3) of the European Union Act 2009, is of the opinion that Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal management (COM (2013) 133), does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity for the reasons set out in paragraph 5 of the Report; and

3) notes that, pursuant to Standing Order 105(4), a copy of this Resolution together with the reasoned opinion and the aforementioned Report shall be sent to the Presidents of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

Question put and agreed to.
